What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the clamping blocks and the top fork bridge were not manufactured according to specifications. Consequently, the handlebars might not be held securely in position.

The risk

It is possible for the handlebars to move out of their correct position when the motorcycle is being maneuvered, or when it is being ridden, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the top fork bridge and both clamping blocks on these motorcycles free of charge. The recall began on december 14, 2007. Owners may contact BMW at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-[removed] (tty 1-[removed]), or go to [link removed]
